This article was previously published under Q146382 SUMMARY
Microsoft Exchange users have the option for new messages to be
delivered to either their Mailbox (on the server) or their Personal Folders
(into the user's PST).
To toggle this setting, a user would select Tools, Options, Delivery, and
toggle the "Deliver new mail to the following location" between "Mailbox"
and "Personal Folders".
When there are existing messages in the Mailbox and the user changes the
"Deliver new mail to the following location" to "Personal Folders", all
messages, both read and unread, are individually moved to the Personal
Folder Inbox. This is different than expected, since existing mail is moved
as well as new mail.
MORE INFORMATION
This is by design. If the user does not want to migrate all messages to the
personal folders, they may set up a filter to migrate only "unread"
messages.
